St Mary's Church, Marston-on-Dove added to Places of Worship in East Midlands by D0c.Col on 03/08/2022

The church dates from the 13th century. It is built of sandstone ashlar with Welsh slate roofs with stone coped gables. It comprises a west tower and spire, aisled nave with south porch and chancel. It was restored between 1927 and 1929 under the supervision of Derby architect Percy Heylin Curry. The church contains the oldest bell in Derbyshire, which was cast in 1366 by John of Stafford. Its pipe organ dates from the late 17th century and was originally in Sudbury Hall, Derbyshire, and later in Sudbury parish church. A specification of the organ can be found on the National Pipe Organ Register. [Wiki].

Permission to fly in the FRZ was obtained from the Derby Aero Club ATC (Tel:01283733803). They requested that I contact them if intending to fly between the hours of 0900 to 1800 Summertime in order to establish the validity of a flight and if they granted a request to fly they were required to be notified before and after the flight was started and completed respectively. However, outside these hours, permission was not required. I had to provide my OP and Fly IDs along with a copy of my insurance and my flight plan before they would respond to my email for permission to fly.

Take off was after 18hrs and the TOAL was from the lay-by opposite the Churchyard Main Gate.

The Church is easy to access just off the A51, Marston Ln, Marston-on-Dove, DerbyshireDE65 5GB

Wharram Percy, Ryedale (By MickeyMoo)

WHARRAM PERCY is one of the most famous deserted medieval villages in England, located in the Yorkshire Wolds. Abandoned by the early 16th century, the site offers a remarkable glimpse into rural medieval life. Archaeological excavations have revealed the remains of peasant houses, a manor house, and a well-preserved church, which still stands today. Wharram Percy was occupied for over 600 years, with its decline largely due to economic changes, including the shift from arable farming to sheep pasture, which led landlords to evict tenants. Now managed by English Heritage, the site is open to the public and provides valuable insight into the social and economic transformations of medieval England.
